Seeing alot of "taxi" supports fail miserably

Like they think they can play With some troll pure mana regen and mobi boots build to babysit the ADC.

That's not how supporting works, every champion in league is designed to.. fight in a sense. Just because your champion doesn't have insane burst, doesn't mean you're "supposed" to hide in the back.

I don't understand where this newbie mentality came from. The best spots to land skillshots are from the front. Not the rear. And if you're building pure glass cannon sup, you're doing something wrong, this isn't season 1 lol your role actually gets some gold now.

Actually, Janna and Soraka can go full passive shielding/healing and they have backline range to snipe further back than marksmen.

And nami, comparatively, takes more skill. Her bubble is so hard and she has to position well to get a triple bounce on her heal. A well timed nami ult is also excellent for turning the tides of a fight and it's important to know if you need it for engaging or disengaging or something in the middle.

In a sense, I agree with this post, but the current meta dosn't allow healer/shielder supports to build tanky in early/mid-game, and the fact that supports usually have the least gold, its hard to get the items you need, as opposed to full tank supports like leona or braum, where all you need is tankiness.

hyper carry adcs do as their name suggests, its natural for someone to protect the DPS none stop.

go into the suggested page for these supports you listed, and see how many health items there are. now go into the suggested page for braum,leona,thresh,tahm kench or any tank supports as a matter of fact, Riot encourages this kind of play style.

supports are suppose to support the entire team, but for people without AOE buffs, its best to just protect the carry.
